Oh, IP, big virtual hugs to you {{{{{IP}}}}} Thank you for sharing your journey with us here. The bit I quoted above, I agree with. I like it for a plan for a happy life. Sometimes, I think about Mother Teresa, she didn't have a grand plan for helping a zillion people and being famous. She...

and then there was moar: http://unsubject.wordpress.com/2012/12/31/2012-your-year-in-gaming-misogyny/ Clearly, if we just accepted that teenagers are douchebags, it wouldn't be such a big deal.:rolleyes:

*That* is what caused all this fuss? Holy cow. Thanks for linking, I just didn't have the heart to look it up after I read Tait's. That was completely unworthy of the maelstrom it caused. It was one woman, whining about a bad date. It is so not even close to character assassination. I...

I apologize, this is slightly off-topic, but I just read this amazing article, and it repeats a whole bunch of stuff these 'nice guys' say. It's about misogyny in the world of gamers, and I wept through most of it. It's long, and beautiful, and it has gone a long way towards healing me...

I would like to spit in my schedule sometimes.... :D

That's fabulous, Annabel! :)

I wish to hell you lived close enough that I could take you out for a drink. :D

I have very similar issues with both my partners; oddly enough, it's not about the poly thing, but other things. Have you seen The Five Love Languages? Somewhere online there's a test you can take, to figure out your love languages. The deal is that people want to be shown love in different...

The world is such a small place really. I was reading this thread, and then went to my fb, and someone had posted this related article: http://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/2012/12/failure-or-transition-redefining-end-of.html (In turn, I'm posting Aggie's article there...) ;)

LOL! I nearly lost a morning myself...

chewy, this is a quite chewy thread. :D So, are you interested in others' frames as well? Or having the discussion within your frame? I suffer quite a bit from thinking and wanting to think without being very specific or precise. I tend to think with my feelings (which I'm certain makes...

That was kind of snotty. You asked for a bit of feedback. I didn't see that river said any such thing, you are quite imagining that.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Shipping I had no idea. That it had a name, I mean. :)

Well that was an interesting read. I can actually sort of see both sides. My parents were completely accepting when I came out as bi (at 18ish), and last year when I came out as poly (except my mom is gone, but the other three were just fine). I have had weird conversations with both my bio...

Your failure to hear us is why people are pointing it out. No one here is freaking out. The people here see your question more than once a week. Many of them have been here for years, seeing this question once a week. Many of the folks who have provided you answers have been approached by...

I am the luckiest girl in the whole entire world. :D So, I went to work Christmas Eve. FBF decided against the train, and that he wanted to drive his car up. CBF calls me at 3:45ish, to tell me they're at a local watering hole, having a beer. We have a small logistics discussion and I hang...

I can't speak to marriage, but I can speak to longevity. I've been, up til now, a serial monogamist. In the last week, I've shared food with two exes, one of whom was my bf in the early 90s. We're still friends. The other was my bf for a short time in 2000 or 2001 or so. He's my mechanic...

Hi Kent, Welcome to polyamory.com. You might want to read and read, and then have a read. There are tons of stories on here that explain 'how poly relationships work.' Pretty much, as far as I can tell, they all work differently. You and your current partner will have to find a way that...

Maybe it's a Western PA thing? :D My peeps are all from there.

I once dated a man who was the same age as my dad (within a few days!). I had no idea his age when I met him. (He turned out to be a sociopath, but that's a different issue.) I was in a long-term relationship with a man 13 years older than I am. FBF is 13.5 years younger than I am; and CBF is...
